Everything You Throw At It

Pros: This card handled everything I threw at it. So I started throwing stuff at the cat instead.
Cons: The cat left. Oh wait, that's a Pro...
Power LED Go Bye Bye

Pros: Doesn't weigh much.
Cons: Even with a blowhole, it's a hot case. And it's a bit tight for large graphics cards. And, after a year, the blue power LED burned out.
Overall Review: I want my blue power LED back. My Antxcs are older and their LEDs never burned out.
Cheap

Pros: Cheap. As in inexpensive. Has a PCI-E 1x slot for my tuner card.
Cons: Cheap. As in low quality. Has TWO PCI-E 1x slots total. I've never known anyone that's needed more than one.
Overall Review: Just arrived today, haven't installed it yet. First impression: cheap quality. Capacitors are not name brand, quality of the soldering leaves a lot to be desired. Lots of silkscreened areas with no functionality, but that's because this is a low-end VIA chipset, nothing to do with the manufacturing quality. Hopefully it will fire up and live to see a ripe old age. Bought it to build a SUSE 10.2 box out of parts I had lying around (Venice 3200, IDE drive, beater case, 400 watt PSU, etc)
I Really Don't Understand...

Pros: why anyone is buying anything other than this chip. Runs extremely cool, easily overclocked to FX-57 speeds and beyond with the right memory. Save yourself two bills and buy this CPU.
Cons: There are no cons. Do the math.
Overall Review: Don't buy a San Diego 3700. Don't buy an FX-anything. Don't buy the version of this chip with the E4 memory controller - go with this E6.
Tighter than you think...

Pros: These sticks and the OCZ2533512VP (with the copper heat spreaders) are basically the same. Some say 4-4-4-8 on the label, some say 4-4-4-12. They ALL come up as 4-4-4-12 according to the SPD, and they ALL can be run manually cool and Prime 95 stable at 4-4-4-8. I've used both successfully on both Abit and Asus motherboards (you can mix them on the same motherboard without problems if you want), with 640 Prescotts overclocked to 3.6GHz. Really, really nice ram.
Cons: None.
It's okay...

Pros: It looks very nice. And it is 17% cheaper than the black version.
Cons: It's a little cramped, and it gets pretty warm with the latest generation of video cards, even with the blowhole. Would benefit from a 120mm exhaust fan and/or an 80mm side panel fan. Wouldn't buy again...
